Care is required when using the appliance on surfaces that may be damaged by
heat. The use of an insulated pad is recommended.
Your Halo fryer can be used to cook fresh or frozen chips, however, for the healthiest

Spread the oil evenly over the chips. Please refer to our cooking popular,
convenience and frozen foods guide on page 14-15.

variety of foods e.g. sausage, chicken, chips, sh, etc. Foods can also be cooked directly

halogen heater.
2. Press the release button and open the lid. Place the rack into the removable bowl
whichever way up you require.
3. Place the food on the rack. The rack and food will rotate during cooking so make

guide to potatoes
There is nothing quite like a plate of homemade chips—especially with your Halo Health
Fryer doing all the hard work for you.
Did you know there are hundreds of varieties of potatoes grown around the world with
about 80 different varieties grown commercially in the UK. Potatoes are usually divided
into two cateorgories:
Floury potatoes – These are generally lighter in colour, with a drier feel, perfect for
homemade chips and jacket potatoes. Well known varieties are King Edward, Maris Piper
and Rooster.
Waxy potatoes – These are moist, rm and translucent and hold their shape well—great
in salads. Examples of these include Charlotte and Jersey Royals
When choosing potatoes for our recipes, it’s worth buying the right type to achieve the
best results. Many potatoes can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, the King
Edward potato can be used for both homemade chips and our Dauphinoise recipe.
Usage Variety
Homemade chips, cajun-style potatoes,
roast potatoes
Maris Piper, King Edward, Sante, Rooster,
Romano
Dauphinoise Charlotte, Desiree
Jacket potatoes Maris Piper, King Edward
